The Chairman of Ilorin South Local Government Council, Hon. Podo, has moved decisively to safeguard students of Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin, in response to persistent reports of criminal activities in and around the campus.
Acting on the threats, Hon. Podo deployed a newly recruited contingent of local government vigilantes to the institution with a clear directive “to protect students and restore safety on campus.”
Over the weekend, the team arrested two young men who, during interrogation, confessed to travelling from Ibadan with the intent to terrorise students. The suspects reportedly admitted to being members of a cult group and revealed plans to use the polytechnic as their base for an “operation.”
Items recovered from them included several mobile phones suspected to be stolen and a cutlass allegedly used in their criminal activities.
Hon. Podo confirmed that the suspects have been handed over to the Nigeria Police Force for further investigation and possible prosecution.
Reiterating his administration’s commitment to student and community safety, the council boss urged residents to remain vigilant and promptly report suspicious activities to security agencies.
